In addition to this we believe that in order to grow your business effectively getting the right finance is crucial. The bank is good starting point but they are not the only option to fund your growth, also consider:-

– Grants from public sector bodies that are on offer in more deprived areas to create employment

– Grants from business support organizations -the carbon trust energy efficiency loan is a good example

– Private investors (business angels) may offer funding in return for a shareholding

– Crowd funding or peer to peer lending is another way to raise finance

– Asset finance companies may buy your equipment and lease it back to you
